Abstract
Allosteric potentiation of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling provides new opportunities for therapeutic discovery. Recently, the laboratory of Peter Chidiac has reported strong allosteric potentiation of numerous GPCRs by extracellular ATP, with the minimal pharmacophore represented by sugar monophosphates. This discovery potentially aids the development of novel allosteric modulators for numerous therapeutically attractive GPCRs.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences (TIPS) is a monthly peer-reviewed reviews journal that focuses on a wide range of topics in pharmacology, pharmacy, pharmaceutics, and toxicology. Launched in 1979, TIPS publishes concise articles discussing the latest advancements in pharmacology and therapeutics research.
The journal encourages submissions that align with its core themes while also being open to articles on the biopharma regulatory landscape, science policy and regulation, and bioethics.
Each issue of TIPS provides a platform for experts to share their insights and perspectives on the most exciting developments in the field. Through rigorous peer review, the journal ensures the quality and reliability of published articles.
Authors are invited to contribute articles that contribute to the understanding of pharmacology and its applications in various domains. Whether it's exploring innovative drug therapies or discussing the ethical considerations of pharmaceutical research, TIPS provides a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the pharmacological sciences.
